    Orange and almond cake GF at Domain Ayr. Yum
    Mel J.

    WOW this cafe is underrated. Domain Ayr, you made my day. Fabulous and creative healthy food. I'm gluten intolerant (not a celiac), and there are lots of choices for me. Cute friendly cafe, and my vegetable frittata is so colorful, like edible art, and I love that it's not salty at all, you can taste the true flavors of the veggies. Mild flavor. Gorgeous. The orange pistachio muffin/cake is tasty with a much better texture than you find in most gluten free muffins. Nice strong flat white. And hey I think I will eat here tomorrow as well! Lots of vegan choices as well. Something for everyone.

    Love this place. I've driven pass this place so many times, and finally got a chance to come in. Friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Clean and natural feel. Lots of wooden furnitures. Has a mixture seatings for different group sizes. Serves mostly branch foods. Uses pretty much all organic products. Flavour is a bit on the lighter side, but it is refreshing. Not known for their speed, but definitely worth the wait. Do try their famous pancake! No dedicated parking, but there are plenty of street parking around. The space down the back is only for tenants and not for restaurant customers.

    Domain & Ayr is one of my regular brunch spots. It sits in that weird strip of road between Newmarket and Parnell, just down from the big Mobil station and opposite the entrance to the Auckland Domain. They do this juniper herb hash thing which is greasy, but everyone who's anyone knows that greasy = delicious. The food on offer is organic where possible and they've got a good selection of beverages, including freshly squeezed juices served in jars (the orange refresher is my favourite) and smoothies. The coffee is Kokako. My favourite things to eat?: The hash, the chicken salad, the macadamia caramel slice in the cabinet. Parking is generally pretty good in that area.

    The name Domain & Ayr suits this wonderful little cafe, considering it sits just opposite the Auckland Domain! When I visited, I grabbed a coffee and a muffin to go (which were delicious) however I noticed they had a cabinet full of tantalizing looking items, as well as a large brunch menu. My boyfriend purchased one of their smoothies which was so so good and another upside? All of their ingredients are organic, so you can feel confident that you are purchasing and consuming items that are good for you. Being organic you would think that they would charge more, but our bill seemed very reasonable and not overly different to other cafes. There aren't really any other cafes nearby either so its really nice to see that this place still takes pride in their service and what they serve, big thumbs up!

    Every time I'm sat at the traffic lights on my way out of the Domain at the top of Parnell Road, I always look at this little café and tell myself to go and try it. Today I did just that; I popped in there with my partner for coffee and cake at lunchtime. The café was full of a young, trendy crowd enjoying a lazy Sunday lunch. The café is only small and pretty much all of the tables, inside and out, were full. The service was really good, the guys behind the counter were so friendly and I was really impressed by their white chocolate and raspberry cake and my partner loved his banana loaf. These cost $4.50, as did the coffees, so no complaints there. I only wish I'd have gone in there for brunch instead of just a snack as the poached eggs on toast looked absolutely amazing. They pride themselves on serving great quality organic food and everything is either vegetarian or vegan. I'll definitely be returning for my own lazy Sunday brunch next weekend.

    Simple but plenty!

    Came across this cutie on my way to Parnell Library. It feels like a new-year treat! The freshness it awakes you is just perfect. And of course it soaks you in on the spot. Clean, Simple wooden texture quite suits this cafe's concept--support and provide the local offers. On the menu you will find lots of attractive items, such as Okiwi Bay Salmon. Sitting down inside with the view of the wooden vintage bike and the street scenery of Parnell, how relaxed it is! Coffee is beautiful, with a ginger loaf or brownie pairing is a nice plus. Hmm, I do wish I could live nearby:)

    I was in Auckland on a trip for my friend's wedding. I decided to go out for brunch before a busy…read moreday and Chuffed stood out to me. When I got there, I was seated immediately. The ambiance was vibey and loved that I was sitting outside, but still covered from the sun. The waiters were so nice and were able to answer any questions I had. I ordered an iced hazelnut oatmilk latte and a fried chicken benedict and they were delicious! The latte was the perfect drink to wake me up for a busy day ahead! They definitely do eggs benedict different but it was still so tasty. Instead of the usual english muffin, they used an herb rostis, which is a crispy hash brown round. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The herb rostis was also crispy and paired well with the creamy poached eggs! I miss this meal so much and dreaming of having this again the next time I go back to Auckland!

    A friend recommended Chuffed and I'm so glad they did! This unassuming little restaurant provided a…read moredelightful brunch, with cozy outdoor seating and excellent service. I love that they offered both still water or sparkling for the table. I ordered the salmon benedict and it was delicious! Their menu offers gluten free as well as dairy free options. Vegetarian or vegan? They have options for you too. I ordered an Americano and it was full bodied and came in a large mug. I only wish we'd had more time in Auckland so I could come here again.
